Hi - I've had the alarm panel fit put to one side whilst other things have been implemented (finished a drop of 300 metres CAT6 and 250 metres Coax!). Just fitting the resistors to the surface contacts now. Seem a decent fit, though tricky to make sure the resistors don't touch the screws...

Thanks - most of these tv points should be built into a part stud wall, so after all that 'faffing' I should be ok. Good point re the back box mind (newly acquired sds drill makes that far less of a chore). Cheers.

In that respect, they're a much more eloquent solution. Perhaps I didn't do enough homework on these, but I placed the trust in my satellite engineer who dropped these off for me. Seeing as everything is terminated up in the loft from the rooms below a different module may have been more...

Hide the blinking thing out of view :) I was recommended the triax plates by a few people (they're on the satcure site too) but that design seems ridiculous given the care you need to give the cables. My OCD is probably kicking in a little too...I won't see them oriented ar*e upside their...

Ok - yes, I've spotted it now, cheers. I suppose I have answered my own question, but don't discredit your help - I wasn't entirely convinced laying the plate on the side (or even upside down) would be blessed by somebody in the know. You've also emphasised the importance of bending these...

Thanks Sam. I couldn't see a triplex version from the links (the slim and fast ones) but I've already taken delivery (and started to wire up) those Triax triplex modules...

BTW - I'm also laying approximately four Cat6 points per room.

Hi folks - never realised this forum had an audio visual section :oops: Just in the [long] process of dropping all my cabling around the house. I've laid all my Co Ax cable last week and had Quattro LNB fitted to the sat dish which then connects to Triax 5 in 12 out multi amp/switch. I had...

Good point...and you have a sterling memory too! As for the coax - aye - I might do that. Not a real biggy and it's one of my other large projects that's nearing completion..just a few niggles. I'll try the electrics (computer?) forum for that. Cheers.

Thanks Paul. You're probably right in as much as it's most likely not worth it. I purchased a decent doorbell (wireless) last year, that more than suffices. If I'm going to have to purchase an expander (rather than using the free zone in the RKP) it's getting less worth the hassle by the...

...Just throwing another thought out there, would fitting a door bell into the panel (I'd have to use that spare zone within the entry RKP) be more trouble than it's worth? I'm assuming I wouldn't need either a transformer or speaker (I'd use that pryonix internal sounder) but could just wire up...

Cider it is! Many thanks - makes complete sense that - I'll fit it up in the week. Cheers.

Hi virgilns, I'd pass those beers onto pcaouolte...massive help to me. Can I just jump on your thread and confirm your Pryonix sounder wiring (specifically the tamper connections)? Mine turned up yesterday, but I haven't had chance to look at it yet. I assume you connect wires to the same...

Good job virgilns. Like the neat conduit for the CU. That metal premier 24 is so much bigger than the plastic/poly panel...slightly kicking myself for not getting that version. I've got that same pryonix sounder on order so I'll have a look how I'm going to wire in when it arrives. I'm...

...good point!...

^^ I meant a 20mm flat drill bit - not a bench grinder! One day perhaps :) Little update. Everything is pretty much wired up now, although (inevitably) I ran out of cable by about 10 metres (grrr). Looks like I'll have to buy a 100m reel again (only a tenner to be fair). Just the bellbox...

A fellow texecom premier DIY installer :) Glad you're getting to grips with it - almost the same set up as me (part of me wishes I'd gone for the metal casing but ho hum), as you'll know from my thread. Will add IP com/GSM stuff at a later date Will look back for updates with interest -...

A...what?! I have a various drill bits...I'll check if I have the right size for the hole required for the flusg fitting, otherwise I'll pick one up. I'll definitely test drill first however. Yes - will fit on the opening side (both cables have been routed there already, but I'll figure out...

Cheers - will order and fit those then. Thanks.

^^ No - it opens inwards - are you thinking that as it opens inwards (and therefore less prone to catching any of the 'less dry' elements) I'll be ok fitting flush sensors? TBH - I'd never seen the flush sensors before, so they were kind of off my radar. Cheers.
